Transportation Permits

In October, 2010 the City of San Leandro renewed its “Extralegal Load” permit procedure and related permit forms. The City’s Transportation Permit Procedure has been updated to more closely reflect current CalTrans procedures. Permits are issued for the movement of an “Extralegal Load” as defined in the California Vehicle Code Section 320.5 VC.

A single trip permit is valid for a laden and unladen round-trip. The Clerk checks height, length, weight, overhang, and width specifications, and requested route on the application. If the application falls within the City of San Leandro Transportation Permit Procedure criteria, then the vehicle is deemed acceptable for a single trip permit. For vehicle combinations with more than nine axles a completed Transportation Permit Rideris required.

Generally, the City of San Leandro will allow an Annual Transportation Permit that is also allowed by CalTrans. If the applicant can provide an annual permit granted by CalTrans, the City of San Leandro will also consider issuing the same annual permit. The original copy of the Annual Permit is mailed (not faxed) to the permittee. The permittee must carry the original permit, with all required attachments, in the permitted vehicle. For annual permit requirements, please see the City of San Leandro Transportation Permit Procedure.
